We celebrated the Fourth with peaches--they are so delicious. I was going to make Mom's sublime peach pie, but cobbler is easier & also scrumptious.
Fruit cobbler
Slice peaches--enough to generously fill the pan. (Great also with blueberries + raspberries) Mix with finely grated lemon rind & sugar. Top with:
Sweet biscuits
Mix:
1 C. flour
1/8 C. sugar
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
Cut in 1/4 C. cold butter.
Add 3/8 C. heavy cream
Flatten pieces of dough on a floured surface. Place them over the top of the fruit. Sprinkle with sugar, the fancy kind with large crystals. In a pinch you can use regular sugar, but you won't get that sweet crunch. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes.
For shortcake, bake the biscuits 15-20 minutes. Serve with fresh fruit, sliced & sweetened, & shipped cream.
For regular dinner biscuits, eliminate the sugar & use milk instead of cream.
